S. A. Klopfenstein

This was a promising start to a new series. It's a long book, but well worth the commitment to read. The characters and world are rich with a wonderful depth. The story moves along smoothly, although I wish the author had chosen different names/words for certain things as they pull you out of the story briefly. I enjoyed reading the various view points as the story progresses. A beautiful epic fantasy, and I look forward to diving further into the world in later books.
